Expose service workflow metadata
Use Case Number |
Init1dbw6.pm8.1 |
Brief Description |
It is commonplace in bioinformatics to string together a number of data and analytical operations in order to produce the desired output. In order for Cancer Researchers to discover which services can be piped together, it is necessary that the designers of the services expose the appropriate metadata. |
Actor(s) for this particular use case |
Information Modeler |
Pre-condition |
A service exists that needs to be annotated. |
Post condition |
The service is annotated sufficiently to be discovered and integrated into an analytical pipeline. |
Steps to take |

Fit criterion/Acceptance Criterion |
Sufficient metadata needs to be defined so that the service can be discovered and linked into a workflow. |
Discovery of analytical steps
Use Case Number |
Init1dbw6.pm8.2 |
Brief Description |
Once metadata about a service is defined and exposed, it must be queriable by users of the service. They must, through consuming of the metadata alone, be able to determine which services can act as consumers of the data the service produces, as well as produces of the data the service consumes. Furthermore, the user must be able to determine that the service is appropriately placed within the workflow. |
